[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2018-29802 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In Patent Document 1, the technology was only used for massage devices, and there was room for research on how to use it for skin care. In recent years, interest in skin care has been high, and particularly, highly interested users often try and error their own skin care methods, or use other people's reviews (so-called word-of-mouth sites) to perform similar skin care, so the technology did not satisfy the needs of such users.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and relates to a skin care system in which a user creates operation data for a treatment unit that stimulates the skin, and the treatment unit is controlled based on the created operation data. [Means for solving the problem]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The drawings of the present embodiment are all intended to explain the technical concept, configuration, and operation of the present invention, and are not intended to specifically limit the configuration. In addition, in all drawings, similar components are given similar reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions are omitted as appropriate.

[0010] <Summary> An overview of the skin care system according to this embodiment will be described. Skin care system 100 of the present embodiment (hereinafter may be referred to as this system) includes beauty device 200, which corresponds to beauty device means, information processing terminal 300, and server device 400 (sometimes referred to as server). As shown in FIG. 1, a user performs skin care using beauty device 200. In this skin care system, the user creates operation data for operating treatment unit 210 of beauty device 200 using information processing terminal 300, and treatment unit 210 is controlled by the created operation data. In addition, this skin care system is expected to improve the skin care effect by outputting images and music that are caring for the mind from information processing terminal 300 as shown in FIG. 1.

[0011] Until now, there has been technology to generate haptic content and use it in a massager (for example, Patent Document 1). However, compared to massage, skin care requires consideration of individual conditions such as skin condition and user preferences, and the optimal skin care content for a user is likely to vary from person to person. However, previous skin care systems have not realized skin care content that takes into account individual conditions such as the user's skin condition and preferences, such as by using operation data created by the user. Therefore, the present inventors propose a skin care system in which the user creates operation data for controlling the stimulation given to the skin by the treatment unit 210 of the beauty device 200, and the treatment unit 210 is controlled based on the created operation data.

[0012] FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a skin care system 100. As shown in Fig. 2, the skin care system 100 is composed of a beauty device 200, an information processing terminal 300, and a server 400. The beauty device 200 includes a treatment unit 210, a receiving unit 220, and a control unit 230. The information processing terminal 300 includes a data creation unit 310 corresponding to a data creation means, a transmission unit 320 corresponding to a transmission means, an acquisition unit 330 corresponding to an acquisition means, a reception unit 340 corresponding to a reception means, a voice output unit 350 corresponding to a voice output means, a display unit 360 corresponding to a display means, and a tactile information acquisition unit 370 corresponding to a tactile information acquisition means. The beauty device 200 and the information processing terminal 300 may be separate or integrated. The server 400 includes a search unit 410 corresponding to a search means and a storage unit 420 corresponding to a storage means.

[0013] The beauty device 200 stimulates the skin of a user, and may be a device that stimulates the skin by temperature, vibration, humidity, moisture, weak current, EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation), ion introduction, RF (Radio Frequency), low frequency, ultrasonic wave, light, wind, etc. by contacting the skin, or a device that does not contact the skin but is provided near the skin to stimulate the skin by temperature, vibration, humidity, moisture, weak current, EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation), ion introduction, RF (Radio Frequency), low frequency, ultrasonic wave, light, wind, etc. The beauty device 200 may be used by a user holding it, by wearing it on a predetermined part of the user, by placing the beauty device 200 on a predetermined position of the user (for example, the face), by placing the beauty device 200 on the user, or by the user standing on the beauty device 200. The beauty device 200 may be used not only by a device that stimulates the skin of a user, but also by a device that stimulates the scalp or hair. In this embodiment, the cosmetic device 200 is equipped with at least a vibration drive means (e.g., a vibration drive circuit (not shown)) and a temperature control means (e.g., an electric heater (not shown), a Peltier element (not shown), a piezoelectric element (not shown)) in order to provide vibration stimulation and temperature stimulation to the skin. In addition, since the control unit 230 needs to detect the temperature of the treatment unit 210 when controlling the temperature of the treatment unit 210, it is preferable that the cosmetic device 200 also includes a temperature sensor (not shown) for detecting the temperature of the treatment unit 210. The treatment unit 210 is used in proximity to or in contact with the user's skin to perform a process of stimulating the skin. The term "skin" refers to the skin of the user, regardless of the part of the body, such as the face, neck, hands, arms, legs, etc. It also includes the scalp. "Proximity" refers to a position away from the treatment unit 210 by a distance at which a predetermined stimulus can be applied to the skin, and the distance varies depending on the type of stimulus. In addition, the case where the treatment unit 210 is used with a predetermined agent applied to the skin is also considered to be proximity. This is because when the treatment unit 210 is used with a predetermined agent applied to the skin, even if the user operates the treatment unit 210 to contact the skin, there is the predetermined agent between the skin and the treatment unit 210, and the treatment unit 210 is not in contact with the skin. "Contact" refers to the position where the treatment section 210 touches the skin, and also includes touching the treatment section 210 by pressing it into the skin. The receiving unit 220 has a function of receiving data, and mainly performs a process of receiving operation data output from the information processing terminal 300. Any communication method may be used for the beauty device 200 and the information processing terminal 300, such as a wireless communication method using Bluetooth, infrared communication, or the like, or a communication method using a predetermined cable. The control unit 230 performs processing to control the treatment unit 210 based on the operation data received by the receiving unit 220. Although it differs depending on the functions provided in the treatment unit 210, the control unit 230 controls the treatment unit 210 to apply a predetermined stimulus to the skin based on the received operation data. In addition to the above-mentioned components, the cosmetic device 200 may be provided with a display unit and / or operation buttons that allow the user to check the operating state of the treatment unit 210.

[0014] The information processing terminal 300 is a device that can be operated by a user, and includes a data creation unit 310, a transmission unit 320, an acquisition unit 330, a reception unit 340, an audio output unit 350, a display unit 360, and a tactile information acquisition unit 370. The information processing terminal 300 is a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet, or a personal computer, which also includes a storage unit 380, a processor, an input / output unit, and input devices such as a keyboard and a pointing device. The information processing terminal 300 may also include a recording function (a recording device such as a voice recorder) that can record music and sound, and a photographing function (a photographing device such as a camera). The data creation section 310 performs a process in which the user creates operation data for controlling the stimulation applied to the skin by the treatment section 210. The "operation data for control" varies depending on the functions of the treatment unit 210, but in this embodiment, data for controlling the temperature and vibration of the treatment unit 210 is created. Details will be described later, but the temperature included in the operation data is the temperature (numerical value) during the cosmetic treatment, or a predetermined stage is included in the operation data. In addition, the vibration included in the operation data is the vibration intensity (numerical value), vibration speed (vibration tempo) (numerical value), rhythm, frequency (numerical value), a predetermined stage of vibration intensity, vibration speed (vibration tempo), rhythm, frequency, or a vibration pattern including vibration intensity, vibration speed (vibration tempo), and frequency during the cosmetic treatment. "Created by the user" means that the user who performs skin care using the beauty device 200 creates operation data, data related to audio, data related to images, etc., using the data creation unit 310. Details will be described later, but in the case of operation data, for example, the user operates the information processing terminal 300 to specify the operation conditions of the treatment unit 210, specifically, to specify the set temperature, vibration intensity, and vibration speed of the treatment unit 210, and to specify at least one vibration element or temperature element from the multiple vibration elements and multiple temperature elements that constitute the pre-stored operation data. The data creation unit 310 creates the operation data based on the contents specified by the user. The data creation unit 310 is provided in a processor included in the information processing terminal 300 .

[0015] The transmission unit 320 performs a process for the user to transmit data from the information processing terminal 300 to the server 400 . A "user" is a user who performs skin care using the beauty device 200, and who uses the data creation unit 310 to create operational data, as well as data related to audio and data related to images (still images and moving images), which will be described in more detail below. "Data" refers to motion data created by the user, audio data created by the user, image data, and the like. The "transmission process" is a process in which the user transmits data to the server 400 using the information processing terminal 300, which is a so-called upload process. The transmission unit 320 is provided in the arithmetic processing unit and input / output unit included in the information processing terminal 300 .

[0016] The acquisition unit 330 performs a process for the user to acquire data from the server 400 to the information processing terminal 300 . The "user" refers to a user who performs skin care using the beauty device 200. The user is not limited to a user who creates motion data, audio data, or image data using the data creation unit 310. "Data" refers to motion data, audio data, image data, and the like created by the user himself or other users. The "acquisition process" is a process in which the user acquires data from the server 400 using the information processing terminal 300, which is a so-called download process. The acquisition unit 330 is provided in the arithmetic processing unit and input / output unit included in the information processing terminal 300 .

[0017] The reception unit 340 performs a process of receiving a data request from a user. In this embodiment, the reception unit 340 performs a process of receiving a data request from a user using the information processing terminal 300. A "data request", the details of which will be described later, refers to a user accessing server 400 and requesting (specifying) data to be acquired when acquiring specific data from server 400 using acquisition unit 330. The contents of a data request include both a request for specific data and a specification of conditions for the data to be acquired. To "accept" means that the information processing terminal 300 recognizes that the user has requested specific data (requesting operation) or that the user has specified conditions for data to be acquired (specifying operation).

[0018] The audio output unit 350 performs processing to output audio to the user. Although details will be described later, the audio output unit 350 outputs audio that is likely to improve the skin care effect when the user listens to the audio in conjunction with skin care performed by the beauty device 200. The audio output unit 350 may be a speaker provided in the information processing terminal 300, or may be a speaker connectable to the information processing terminal 300. The display unit 360 performs processing to display images. Details will be described later, but the display unit 360 displays images that are likely to improve the effect of skin care when viewed in conjunction with skin care performed by the beauty device 200. The display unit 360 may be a display screen provided in the information processing terminal 300, or may be a display device connectable to the information processing terminal 300.

[0019] The tactile information acquisition unit 370 performs a process of acquiring tactile information when a user touches a specific object. It performs a process of acquiring tactile sensations such as rough, smooth, soft, moist, soft, hard, and fluffy that a user feels when touching a specific object as an electrical signal. The type of sensor used for acquisition may be any type, such as one using an acceleration sensor, one using a pressure sensor, one using a vibration sensor, or one using a temperature sensor. Various sensors may or may not be included in the present system 100. The "predetermined object" may be any object, but in this embodiment, taking into consideration the use of tactile information for skin care, it is preferable for the object to be an object that is pleasant to the touch, such as fur, velvet, silk, smooth wood, marshmallow, etc. The tactile information acquisition unit 370 is provided in a sensor (not shown) and a processing unit provided in the information processing terminal 300 .

[0020] The server 400 includes a search unit 410 and a storage unit (server) 420. The server 400 is a computer system that further includes a processor, an input / output unit, and the like. Based on a data request from a user, the search unit 410 performs processing to search for specific data including motion data using stored index data (index data will be described later). As will be described in detail later, data such as motion data, audio data, and image data stored in the server 400 are stored as index data in association with the data, including user information on the data creator and information such as user evaluations when used. The search unit 410 uses the index data to search for data corresponding to the data request from the user. The storage unit (server) 420 performs a process of storing data such as motion data, audio data, and image data in association with the respective index data.

[0021] This system will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, in this system, each user (eg, users A to F) having a beauty device 200 and an information processing terminal 300 can access a server 400 via the Internet. Each user transmits the created motion data, voice data, and image data to the server 400 by the transmission unit 320. In addition, the motion data, voice data, and image data created and transmitted by the user himself / herself and stored in the server 400, as well as the motion data, voice data, and image data created and transmitted by other users, can be acquired by the acquisition unit 330. In this way, by publishing a skin care method created by a user and found effective to other users, interest in using the present system 100 increases, and since the user can perform a skin care method that other users have published as effective, interest in using the present system 100 increases. Many users who place importance on skin care are sensitive to information, and often seek their own skin care method by referring to comments from other users. For example, it is expected that the possibility of improving the skin condition will increase by performing skin care using motion data, voice data, or image data that have been created and found effective by a user who has similar skin problems and lifestyle habits as the user. Note that index data (details will be described later) is used to identify users who have similar skin problems and lifestyle habits as the user.

[0022] Fig. 4 shows a conceptual diagram of storage unit 420 provided in server 400. Fig. 4 shows an image of data stored in storage unit 420, and does not show the actual contents of the database. In addition, data other than the data shown in Fig. 4 may also be recorded.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 4, storage unit 420 stores data created by a user and data (parts of data) necessary for the user to create the data. As data created by the user, motion data, audio data, and image data are stored. As data used when a user creates data, data related to motion data, data related to haptic data, data related to voice data, and data related to image data are stored. Although not shown in Fig. 2, a motion information storage unit that stores data related to motion data, a haptic information storage unit that stores data related to haptic data, a voice information storage unit that stores data related to voice data, and an image information storage unit that stores data related to image data may be provided. Table 1 shows an overview of the data shown in Figure 4. [Table 1]

[0024] Each piece of data will be explained below.

[0025] <About operation data> The "operation data" is data for controlling the stimulation given to the skin by the treatment unit 210 of the beauty device 200. In this embodiment, the operation data includes at least one of the vibration speed, vibration intensity, vibration rhythm, and frequency as data for controlling the vibration of the treatment unit 210. The operation data also includes data for controlling the temperature of the treatment unit 210. The operation data may include the control time (skin care treatment time) of the treatment unit 210 and the control time interval (presence or absence of an interval). Any of the data may be in any form, such as a specific numerical value, information indicating a stage (for example, there are five vibration speed stages: very high speed, high speed, medium speed, low speed, and very low speed, and the stage information). Table 2 shows an image of the operation data. [Table 2]

[0026] As shown in Table 2, each operation data includes treatment time, vibration speed, vibration intensity, vibration rhythm, vibration frequency, temperature, etc. For example, operation data 1 indicates that the treatment time is three minutes, and that the stimulation content applied to the skin by the treatment unit 210 is controlled differently depending on the period from the start: 30 seconds, 31 seconds to 60 seconds, 61 seconds to 120 seconds, and 121 seconds to 180 seconds. Also, for example, the operation data 2 indicates that the treatment time is four minutes, and that the stimulation content given to the skin by the treatment section 210 is controlled to be constant from the start to the end. Note that the action data shown in Table 2 is an example, and the timing at which the stimulus content changes may be other timings (for example, in the case of action data 1, 90 seconds from the start and 180 seconds from 91 seconds), the combination of stimulus content is not limited to these, and information other than that shown in Table 2 may be included.

[0027] 5 is a process flow (concept) for a user to create motion data and perform cosmetic treatment. Note that the steps with horizontal lines in the flow are processes performed by the information processing terminal 300 or the server 400.

[0028] Step S10 is a process for specifying the operating conditions of the treatment unit 210 that the user wants to include in the operation data. When creating motion data, the user creates motion information (motion conditions) such as vibration speed and vibration strength included in the motion data using data parts stored in the storage unit 420. For example, five types of vibration speed elements, ultra-high speed, high speed, medium speed, low speed, and ultra-low speed, are stored in the storage unit 420 as vibration speed elements for motion data-related parts. The user accesses the server 400 using the information processing terminal 300. Then, the data creation unit 310 selects specific data from the vibration speed elements to create motion data. Specifically, a screen for creating motion data is displayed on the display unit 360 of the information processing terminal 300, and the user inputs each piece of motion information (each element) and specifies completion of creation. It is preferable that each piece of motion information can be input using a pull-down menu or a check box so that the user can easily create motion data. Note that the vibration speed and vibration strength elements may not be stages, but may be specific speed data such as xx / sec, or the user may input a specific vibration speed without selecting from the data parts stored in the storage unit 420.

[0029] Step S15 is a process in which the data creation unit 310 creates operation data of the contents input by the user. The data creation unit 310 creates the data in the format of operation data (control data) for controlling the operation of the treatment unit 210. The created motion data is stored in storage unit 380 and used in the cosmetic treatment.

[0030] Step S20 is a process for carrying out a cosmetic treatment based on the operation data created in steps S10 and S15.

[0031] Step S25 is a process in which the user creates index data. The user inputs the contents to be included in the index data shown below using the index data input screen displayed on the display unit 360. The index data will now be described. The memory unit 420 stores index data corresponding to the operation data, the index data including at least one of user information of the user who created the operation data, mental information indicating a change in mental state due to the user controlling the treatment unit 210 based on the operation data and performing cosmetic treatment, sleep information indicating a sleep state due to the user controlling the treatment unit 210 based on the operation data and performing cosmetic treatment, and skin information indicating a change in skin condition due to the user controlling the treatment unit 210 based on the operation data and performing cosmetic treatment. "Index data" refers to user information, physical condition information, heart information, sleep information, skin information, etc., and is data used by the search unit 410 for searches when another user uses the receiving unit 340 to select the operation data he or she wishes to acquire, or when another user uses the receiving unit 340 to input conditions for the operation data he or she wishes to acquire. "User information" refers to information such as the name (including nickname), age, sex, lifestyle, preferences, characteristics of autonomic nerve activity, occupation, hobbies, lifestyle habits, skin condition, and skin type (including skin concerns) of the user who created the motion data, and only information that the user determines to be public may be entered. The name is information required when a user who continuously transmits information or a celebrity wishes to "use the motion data of Mr. / Ms. X". The age is information required when a user wishes to use motion data of a user of the same age as the user, since there is a close relationship between skin condition and age. The skin type (including skin concerns) is information required because many users believe that they can expect improvement in their skin condition if the motion data is created by a user with the same skin type or skin concerns as the user. The occupation, hobbies, and lifestyle are likely to be useful as a reference for motion data from people with a similar lifestyle as the user, and therefore these pieces of information are preferably also included in the index data. "Physical condition information" refers to information indicating the physical condition of the user who created the behavioral data, and includes not only the physical condition at the time of (before) the cosmetic treatment, but also the user's regular physical condition (for example, feeling irritable or unmotivated in the mornings). "Mental information" refers to information that indicates changes in mental state resulting from performing cosmetic treatment using the created motion data, such as information indicating changes in mental state based on the results of a medical interview with the user (e.g., the user felt depressed before the cosmetic treatment, but felt lighter after the treatment), and changes in mental state obtained from physiological information such as the user's heart rate data, facial images (facial expressions), brain waves, and blood pressure. "Sleep information" refers to the amount of sleep, the time it took to fall asleep, and the degree of sleep (whether or not the person slept soundly) resulting from performing a beauty treatment using the created motion data. "Skin information" is information that indicates changes in skin condition resulting from cosmetic treatment using the created operation data, and indicates, for example, changes in skin condition such as skin being dry before the cosmetic treatment but becoming moisturized after the cosmetic treatment. In addition to this information, the index data may also include comments from the user who created it, frequency of treatment, whether or not a preparation was used, and product name. The index data is input by the user using the data creation unit 310 after the user has performed a cosmetic treatment using the action data. Specifically, a screen for inputting the index data is displayed on the display unit 360 of the information processing terminal 300, and the user inputs each piece of information and indicates completion of input. Note that it is preferable that each piece of information can be input using a pull-down menu or check boxes so that the user can easily input the index data. Also, the user's comment may be freely entered within a predetermined number of characters.

[0032] Step S30 is a process in which the data creation unit 310 creates index data of the contents input by the user. The data creation unit 310 creates the contents input by the user in a predetermined format. The created index data is stored in the storage unit 380 in association with the action data.

[0033] Step S35 is a process for judging whether the user wants to make the action data and the index data corresponding to the action data public to other users. For example, a screen is displayed on the display unit 360 asking the user whether to upload, and if the user selects NO (do not publish), this process ends. If the user selects YES (want to publish), the process proceeds to step S35.

[0034] Step S40 is a process in which the transmitting unit 320 of the information processing terminal 300 uploads the created action data and corresponding index data to the server 400. When the motion data is transmitted from the information processing terminal 300, the server 400 stores the motion data and the index data in association with each other in the storage unit 420. In this manner, other users can access the server 400 from their own information processing terminals 300 to obtain the motion data created by other users.

[0035] 6 is a process flow (concept) for a user to obtain action data created by another user and perform a cosmetic treatment. Note that the steps with horizontal lines in the flow are processes performed by the information processing terminal 300 or the server 400.

[0036] Step S50 is a process for inputting conditions for what kind of data the user wants to acquire when he or she wishes to acquire action data created by another user. The user inputs the conditions of the action data to be acquired using a screen (accepting unit 340) displayed on the display unit 360. Examples of input contents are shown below. - User name (including nickname) of the person who created the data The age of the person who created the data · Skin condition (skin concerns) of the person who created the data Season when the data was created - Items ranked highly by other users (details below) - Those of users who have acquired it in the past The above-mentioned input contents may be one item or multiple items.

[0037] In step S55, the reception unit 340 requests the server 400 to search (extract) data based on the contents input by the user in step S50, and the search unit 410 of the server 400 extracts the data using the index data stored in the memory unit 420. The extracted data may be, for example, the most recent creation date among the data that meets the conditions, or multiple data may be extracted. The extraction result is displayed on the display unit 360 via the reception unit 340. Then, the user specifies the data to be acquired from the extraction result displayed on the display unit 360.

[0038] Step S60 is a process in which the acquisition unit 330 downloads the action data identified in step S55 from the server 400. The downloaded action data is stored in the storage unit 380.

[0039] Step S65 is a process of acquiring the operation data acquired by the user in step S60, and carrying out a cosmetic treatment based on the acquired operation data.

[0040] Step S70 is a process for judging whether or not a user who has performed a cosmetic treatment based on the acquired operation data inputs a comment such as an impression or evaluation of the cosmetic treatment. For example, a screen is displayed on the display unit 360 asking the user whether or not to input an evaluation, and if the user selects NO (do not input), this process ends. If the user selects YES (input), the process proceeds to step S75. Note that in this embodiment, if the user inputs an evaluation, the input evaluation data is registered in index data corresponding to the operation data stored in the storage unit 420 (disclosed to other users).

[0041] In step S75, information indicating an evaluation of the cosmetic treatment performed by the user based on the acquired operation data is input using the data creation unit 310. Specifically, a screen for inputting evaluation data is displayed on the display unit 360 of the information processing terminal 300, and the user inputs the evaluation items and specifies completion of input. An example of the evaluation items is shown below. A user who feels that the cosmetic treatment based on the motion data was good clicks, for example, a button indicating "Like!", whereas a user who feels that it was not good clicks a button indicating "Disappointed!". - Cosmetic treatments based on action data are scored. Scores can be out of 10 or 100, and instead of entering a numerical value as the score, words such as "Very good!", "Good!", "Average", "Disappointing", and "Disappointing" can be used in stages and converted into a score. · Write your user reviews and ratings. -Allow user information (such as age) to be entered. These evaluation items are stored as part of index data associated with the operation data. Therefore, the evaluation items can be used as conditions when the user specifies the acquired data. The evaluation items to be used can be determined by taking into consideration the convenience for the user and whether they will be a factor in the user's decision when requesting data.

[0042] Step S80 is a process in which the transmitting unit 320 of the information processing terminal 300 uploads the input index data to the server 400. When the index data is transmitted from the information processing terminal 300, the server 400 adds it to the index data of the target motion data and stores it in the storage unit 420. In this way, it can be one of the conditions that other users input in the reception unit 340 when acquiring motion data, and the user who created the motion data can know the evaluations of other users about the motion data that he or she created, and can use it as a reference for his or her own beauty treatment method.

[0043] Data other than the operation data shown in FIG. 4 will be described. <About voice data> The "audio data" refers to audio output from the audio output unit 350 to the user, and in this embodiment, particularly, refers to audio output when a cosmetic treatment is performed using the cosmetic device 200. In this embodiment, the audio data is output from the audio output unit 350 (speaker) provided in the information processing terminal 300. The data creating unit 310 includes a voice data creating means (voice data creating unit 311 ) for allowing the user to create data relating to the voice to be output from the voice output unit 350 . "Created by the user" includes not only so-called composing such as writing sheet music or chords, but also selecting or deciding audio data such as audio title (song name), audio type (e.g. piano, string instrument, wind instrument, voice, etc.), audio genre (e.g. classical, rock, jazz, 1 / f fluctuation, etc.), audio tempo, audio melody, etc. The user inputs the created data (information) from an audio data creation screen displayed on display unit 360, and audio data creation unit 311 creates audio data in a format to be output from audio output unit 350. In this embodiment, "created by the user" includes the following 1) to 3): 1) A user selecting audio data created outside this system for use in this system, specifically, for example, a user selecting a song by a favorite artist for use in this system 100, 2) As will be described in detail later, a user selecting a song from a plurality of songs including at least a melody and a rhythm that have been created in advance and stored in storage unit 420, and determining the order in which the selected songs are to be joined together, and 3) As will be described in detail later, a user selecting a plurality of elements from tempo, time signature, phrase, rhythm, and sound source that are elements that make up a song stored in storage unit 420, and determining how to combine the selected plurality of elements.

[0044] In the above cases 2) and 3), the voice data creation unit 311 performs the following process. In case 2) The storage unit 420 stores data of a plurality of songs including at least a melody and a rhythm that have been created in advance. In this embodiment, a "song" refers to a sound that includes at least a melody and a rhythm and is heard as a single entity, and may be a part of a song, such as only the chorus, melody A, and melody B, or may be a song from start to finish. The data of a plurality of songs stored may be only the choruses of a plurality of different songs (only a plurality of choruses), only the choruses, melody A, and melody B of a plurality of different songs (for example, only the chorus of song I, melody A of song II, and melody B of song III), or only the chorus, melody A, and melody B included in one song (for example, only the chorus of song I, melody A of song I, and melody B of song I). The user selects a song to be included in the audio-related data from among multiple stored songs. The user decides how to use the selected songs, whether it is to use one song repeatedly or to use multiple songs in a predetermined order. The user may decide how many times to repeat the selected song, or may decide the duration of the audio-related data to be created, and the audio data creation unit 311 may decide the number of times to repeat the selected song to match the duration decided by the user. The audio data creation unit 311 acquires song data from the storage unit 420 based on the conditions under which the user selected the song (song output order, repeat order, number of repeats), and creates data related to audio to be output from the audio output unit 350. The created audio data is stored in the storage unit 380. In case 3) The storage unit 420 stores at least one of the elements constituting a song, namely tempo, beat, phrase, rhythm, and sound source, and stores a plurality of each element. In this embodiment, DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software and the like are stored in the storage unit 420, and the user accesses the server 400 using the audio data creation unit 311 of the information processing terminal 300 and creates data using the DAW software stored in the storage unit 420. Therefore, the audio data creation unit 311 corresponds to the arithmetic processing unit of the information processing terminal 300, the DAW software stored in the server 400, and the arithmetic processing unit of the server 400 that executes the software. Depending on the performance of the information processing terminal 300, the DAW software may be stored in the information processing terminal 300, and the user may create data related to audio on the information processing terminal 300. In this case, the arithmetic processing unit of the information processing terminal 300 corresponds to the audio data creation unit 311. The created voice-related data is stored in the storage unit 380.

[0045] For the data relating to the voice created in the above 1) to 3), index data similar to the index data created corresponding to the action data is created and stored in the storage unit 380 in association with the created data relating to the voice. A user who has decided that he or she wishes to make the voice-related data and index data corresponding to the voice-related data created as described above available to other users uploads them to server 400 using transmission unit 320 . When the action data is transmitted from the information processing terminal 300, the server 400 stores the voice-related data and the index data in association with each other in the storage unit 420. In this manner, other users can access the server 400 from their own information processing terminals 300 to obtain the voice-related data created by other users. Incidentally, 1) it is preferable to prohibit uploading of audio data created by a specific composer to the server 400. In this case, index data associated with the title of audio data created by the specific composer may be uploaded to the server 400.

[0046] The created voice data is a voice output during a beauty treatment using the beauty device 200. All of the voice data 1) to 3) have a predetermined rhythm. Therefore, when outputting a voice from the voice output unit 350, it is preferable to create operation data according to the created voice data, since it is more likely that the skin care effect will be enhanced if the vibration of the operation data for controlling the stimulation applied to the skin by the treatment unit 210 is matched to the voice data to be output. For voice data created in 1) and 3) By transmitting the created data signal related to the sound to the vibration drive circuit (not shown) of the treatment unit 210, it is possible to correspond the stimulation given to the skin by the treatment unit 210 to the data related to the sound. However, depending on the created data related to the sound, it is necessary to perform processing such as amplifying the signal and transmitting it to the vibration drive circuit, or passing it through a filter so that it is used only for a predetermined band. Therefore, the data creation unit 310 analyzes the band and amplitude of the created data related to the sound, and creates data suitable for vibration control of the treatment unit 210 as operation data. When the operation data created in this way is transmitted to the vibration drive circuit of the treatment unit 210, the vibration of the treatment unit 210 is controlled based on the operation data. Since the operation data is created using data related to the sound (sound signal), the rhythm and vibration of the data related to the sound and the vibration (vibration rhythm) of the treatment unit 210 due to the operation data are the same (or similar), so that if a beauty treatment is performed using the operation data while listening to the sound of the data related to the sound, the beauty treatment can be performed comfortably and the skin care effect can be improved. In addition, a program for analyzing the bandwidth, amplitude, etc. of the voice-related data created by the data creation unit 310 and creating data suitable for vibration control of the treatment unit 210 as operation data is stored in the information processing terminal 300 in advance. Index data corresponding to the created motion data is created in the same manner as the index data described above. By including information on the voice data based on the motion data in this index data, the voice data and the motion data can be extracted in association with each other, making it possible to perform highly effective beauty treatments. In the case of voice data created in 2) In the case of the data related to the voice created in 2), the motion data can be created in the same manner as in the case of the data related to the voice created in 1) and 3). In the case of the data related to the voice created in 2), the data related to the voice is created by combining songs stored in the storage unit 420 in advance. Therefore, vibration elements corresponding to the stored songs may be stored in the storage unit 420 in advance, and the data creating unit 310 may extract the corresponding vibration elements based on the created data related to the voice to create the motion data. Specifically, the data creating unit 310 extracts vibration elements corresponding to the songs stored in the storage unit 420 used for the created data related to the voice from the storage unit 420, and combines the vibration elements in correspondence with the created data related to the voice to create the motion data. Note that, when creating motion data corresponding to the data related to the voice created in 2), it is preferable that the corresponding vibration elements are automatically extracted when the user selects a song stored in advance. Specifically, by selecting the chorus of the song I and the melody A of the song I in that order, the vibration elements corresponding to the chorus of the song I and the vibration elements corresponding to the melody A of the song I are automatically extracted. In this way, even when a user creates data related to voice by combining prestored music data, operation data corresponding to the created data related to voice can be easily created, thereby improving user convenience. Index data corresponding to the created motion data is created in the same manner as the index data described above. By including information on the voice data based on the motion data in this index data, the voice data and the motion data can be extracted in association with each other, making it possible to perform highly effective beauty treatments.

[0047] It is preferable that data for controlling temperature be included in the operational data for controlling the stimulation applied to the skin by the treatment unit 210. This is because the treatment unit 210 performs the cosmetic treatment directly or in close proximity to the skin, and the temperature of the treatment unit 210 has a large effect on the cosmetic treatment. Therefore, it is preferable that the data creation unit 310 creates the operation data so that the temperature control content is changed when a predetermined timing occurs, such as when the melody of the created data related to the voice changes, when the sound reaches a predetermined range, or when the sound volume reaches a predetermined volume. Specifically, the control unit 230 reads the operation data, obtains the temperature of the treatment unit 210 at the predetermined timing using a temperature sensor, calculates the difference between the temperature of the treatment unit 210 measured by the temperature sensor and the temperature (instructed) included in the operation data, and drives the temperature adjustment means based on the calculation result to control the treatment unit 210 to the temperature included in the operation data. Note that the predetermined timing is not limited to the above, and for example, the user may specify a condition for changing the temperature control content using the data creation unit 310, and the data creation unit 310 may create the operation data based on the specified condition so that the control unit 230 can perform control under the condition specified by the user.

[0048] <About image data> The "image data" refers to an image that can be viewed by a user by being displayed on the display unit 360, and in particular, in this embodiment, refers to an image that is displayed on the display unit 360 when a cosmetic treatment is performed using the cosmetic device 200. In this embodiment, the image is displayed on the display unit 360 provided in the information processing terminal 300. The data creation unit 310 includes an image data creation means (image data creation unit 312 ) that performs processing for the user to create an image to be displayed on the display unit 360 . "Created by the user" includes not only taking or drawing an image, but also selecting or deciding data related to the image, such as the image title, type of image (e.g., southern island scenery, castle, night sky, mountain scenery, etc.), image genre, image quality (e.g., brightness, monochrome, color, etc.), etc. The user inputs the created data (information) from a data creation screen related to the image displayed on the display unit 360, and the image data creation unit 312 creates audio data in a format to be output from the display unit 360. In this embodiment, "created by the user" includes the following 1) and 2): 1) the user taking a photograph or drawing (including both still images and moving images), and 2) storing a plurality of images in advance in the storage unit 420, the user selecting a specific image from the plurality of stored images, and determining the display order, display time, and brightness of the selected image. Note that the still images and moving images taken or drawn by the user include landscape images, portrait images, animal images, beauty treatment method images (images showing beauty treatment methods), etc. The image data creation unit 312 creates data related to the image so that the data created by the user is displayed on the display unit 360. In the case of 1), when the user decides to create data related to the image using an image that the user has photographed or drawn, the user stores the data in the storage unit 380. The user uses a screen for creating data related to the image to be displayed on the display unit 360 to specify the image stored in the storage unit 380. The image data creation unit 312 creates data related to the image to be displayed on the display unit 360 based on an instruction from the user. However, depending on the image that the user has photographed or drawn, data creation (editing) by the image data creation unit 312 is not required. In the case of 2), the user specifies the selected image from a screen for creating data related to the image to be displayed on the display unit 360, and the image data creation unit 312 acquires the designated data from the storage unit 420, edits the acquired image based on other conditions (e.g., brightness, order of images, etc.) specified by the user from the screen for creating data related to the image, and creates data related to the image. The created data related to the image is stored in the storage unit 380. For the created data relating to the image, index data similar to the index data created corresponding to the action data is created, and stored in storage unit 380 in association with the created data relating to the image. A user who has decided that he or she wishes to make the image-related data and index data corresponding to the image-related data created as described above available to other users uploads them to server 400 using transmission unit 320 . When the action data is transmitted from the information processing terminal 300, the server 400 stores the image-related data and the index data in association with each other in the storage unit 420. In this manner, other users can access the server 400 from their own information processing terminals 300 to obtain data related to images created by other users.

[0049] <Regarding tactile data> In the present system 100, tactile information obtained when a user touches a specific object may be acquired by the tactile information acquisition unit 370 and used when creating operation data for the treatment unit 210. For example, if a user prefers a touch that is smooth like fur or velvet, the treatment unit 210 may provide a tactile stimulus that is close to the user's preferred touch, which may allow the user to perform a comfortable beauty treatment. Therefore, operation data may be created using the tactile information. The tactile information is acquired, for example, by providing a sensor on the user's finger and acquiring a mechanical physical quantity (electrical signal) generated by touching an object with the finger. The "object" may be anything, for example, fur or velvet. The "sensor" is, for example, a multi-axis sensor, a force sensor, or a vibration sensor that can acquire acceleration, force, or vibration generated by touching an object with a finger, and corresponds to the tactile information acquisition means of the present invention. The mechanical physical quantity (electrical signal) acquired by the sensor corresponds to the tactile information of the present invention. The storage unit 420 stores a plurality of vibration elements including at least one of vibration speed, vibration intensity, rhythm, and frequency. The data creation unit 310 analyzes the acquired tactile information, extracts the closest vibration element from the vibration elements stored in the storage unit 420, and creates operation data. Specifically, the waveform of the tactile information is divided into a predetermined interval, and for each divided range, the waveform of the vibration element stored in the storage unit 420 is associated with the closest vibration element to create operation data. The vibration caused by the operation data created in this way is similar to the tactile sensation when touching a specific object. When the created operation data is read by the control unit 230, the control unit 230 drives the vibration drive circuit so as to control the vibration of the treatment unit 210 with the vibration elements (vibration speed, vibration intensity, rhythm, frequency) shown in the operation data. By controlling the treatment unit 210 based on the created operation data and performing a cosmetic treatment, it is possible to perform skin care by tactile sensation as desired by the user. For the created motion data, index data similar to the index data created corresponding to the motion data described above is created, and stored in storage unit 380 in association with the created motion data. A user who has decided that he or she wishes to make the action data and the index data corresponding to the action data created as described above available to other users uploads them to the server 400 using the transmission unit 320 . The tactile sensation when touching a specific object includes not only roughness and smoothness, but also hotness and coldness. Therefore, the temperature of the user's finger when touching a specific object may be obtained by using, for example, thermography. In this case, the thermography corresponds to the tactile information obtaining means of the present invention, and the temperature corresponds to the tactile information. The data creating unit 310 analyzes the obtained tactile information and creates operation data. When the control unit 230 reads the operation data thus created, the control unit 230 obtains the temperature of the treatment unit 210 by a temperature sensor, calculates the difference between the temperature of the treatment unit 210 measured by the temperature sensor and the temperature (instructed) included in the operation data, and drives the temperature adjusting means to control the treatment unit 210 to the temperature included in the operation data based on the calculation result. By controlling the treatment unit 210 based on the operation data thus created and performing a cosmetic treatment, it is possible to perform skin care by tactile sensation as the user prefers.

[0050] Furthermore, there are also the following methods for creating motion data using tactile information. A tactile information storage means (tactile information storage unit (not shown)) is provided in the storage unit 420, and a plurality of predetermined tactile information are stored in the tactile information storage means. At this time, since the user cannot grasp what kind of tactile information it is if mechanical physical quantities or temperature are shown, it is preferable to store the information as tactile parts when a specific object is touched. For example, tactile information when fur is touched is stored as "tactile parts (fur)," and tactile information when velvet is touched is stored as "tactile parts (velvet)." The tactile parts contain mechanical physical quantities and temperature as tactile information when a specific object is touched. The user selects the tactile part to be included in the motion data from the multiple tactile parts stored in the memory. The user decides whether to include one tactile part or multiple tactile parts in the motion data, for example, a velvet tactile part followed by a furry tactile part. The data creation unit 310 creates operation data so that the treatment unit 210 is controlled by the tactile parts selected by the user. Specifically, the data creation unit 310 creates operation data so that the treatment unit 210 is controlled by the vibration and temperature corresponding to the selected tactile parts. That is, when the control unit 230 reads the operation data, the vibration drive circuit and the temperature adjustment means are controlled to control the treatment unit 210 so that the vibration and temperature correspond to the tactile parts selected by the user. The created operation data creates index data similar to the index data created corresponding to the above-mentioned operation data, and is stored in the storage unit 380 in association with the created operation data. A user who wishes to make the operation data and index data corresponding to the operation data created as described above available to other users uploads them to the server 400 using the transmission unit 320. By controlling the treatment unit 210 based on the operation data created in this way and performing cosmetic treatment, it becomes possible to perform skin care based on the user's preference using tactile sensation.

[0051] <Modification> In this embodiment, the case where a user creates motion data is described in Fig. 5, and the case where a user acquires motion data created by another user is described in Fig. 6, but the present invention is not limited to motion data. The same applies to the above-mentioned motion data created from audio data, image data, and haptic information.

[0052] In the present embodiment, the stimulation to the user is described as stimulation by the treatment unit 210 of the beauty device 200, audio stimulation by the audio output unit 350, and image stimulation by the display unit 360, but is not limited thereto. Also, for example, an aroma shooter (not shown) may be provided, and data on the aroma to be output from the aroma shooter may be created by the user. This is because many users feel relaxed by aromas, and relaxation can be expected to improve the skin condition.

[0053] In this embodiment, the beauty treatment may be performed using one type of stimulation, such as stimulation from the treatment unit 210 of the beauty device 200, audio stimulation from the audio output unit 350, image stimulation from the display unit 360, or aroma stimulation from an aroma shooter, or may be performed using multiple types of stimulation. For example, any combination may be used, such as vibration stimulation only by the treatment unit 210 of the beauty device 200 (using one type of stimulation, operation data), vibration and temperature stimulation by the treatment unit 210 of the beauty device 200 (using two types of stimulation, operation data), vibration, temperature, audio stimulation by the audio output unit 350, and image stimulation by the display unit 360 of the beauty device 200 (using four types of stimulation, operation data, audio data, and image data), vibration by the treatment unit 210 of the beauty device 200 and audio stimulation by the audio output unit 350 of the beauty device 200 (using two types of stimulation, audio data, and image data), vibration, temperature, audio stimulation by the audio output unit 350, image stimulation by the display unit 360, and aroma stimulation by an aroma shooter of the beauty device 200 (using five types of stimulation, operation data, audio data, image data, and aroma data). The combination may be determined based on the preference of the user who will be receiving the beauty treatment, the mood during the beauty treatment, the state of mind, the physical condition, etc.

[0054] In this embodiment, when creating operation data including vibration elements corresponding to data related to voice, a voice signal is sent to the vibration drive circuit of the treatment unit 210, but this is not limited to this. For example, a plurality of vibration elements may be stored in the storage unit 420 in advance, and the data creation unit 310 may extract the closest vibration element to create operation data. Specifically, the waveform of the data related to voice (voice signal) is divided into a predetermined interval, and for each divided range, the waveform of the vibration element stored in the storage unit 420 is associated with the closest vibration element to create operation data. The operation data created in this way is data that is similar to the vibration of the data related to voice, so that the similarity between the voice and the vibration of the treatment unit 210 is likely to enhance the relaxation effect.

[0055] In this embodiment, the image data is created as only the image, but for example, the image data may include audio. In this case, for example, when a moving image captured by a user is created as the image data, the data creation unit 310 may extract the audio signal component of the moving image and transmit the extracted audio signal to the vibration drive circuit as described above. Also, as described above, since it is necessary to amplify the audio signal and transmit it to the vibration drive circuit, or to pass it through a filter so that only a specific band is used, the data creation unit 310 may analyze the band and amplitude of the audio signal, and create data suitable for vibration control of the treatment unit 210 as operation data.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the receiving unit 340 requests data created by other users, the data on the motion data, the data on the voice, and the data on the image are each requested independently, but this is not limited to the above. For example, the user may create a set of the motion data, the data on the voice, and the data on the image, so that other users can acquire the set. In this case, the set may be designated on the screen (receiving unit 340) for inputting the conditions of the motion data to be acquired, which is displayed on the display unit 360, or the data on the voice and the data on the image may be extracted by extracting any data (for example, the motion data) from the set, and the data may be recommended to the requesting user.

[0057] In the present embodiment, the data related to the sound and the data related to the image are created independently, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the data creating unit 310 may allow the user to specify to create the data related to the sound and the data related to the image on the data creation screen displayed on the display unit 360. In this case, the user may select an image such as "festival", "forest bathing", "night sky", or "animals", and the data creating unit 310 may extract the "music" and "image" stored in the storage unit 420 as the selected image, and the "music" and "image" to be used by the user in data creation may be determined from the extraction result. In this way, even if the user only has an abstract image, the data related to the sound and the data related to the image that the user likes can be created, improving the convenience for the user.

[0058] In this embodiment, when creating data related to voice, 1) the user selects voice data created outside the system for use in the system, 2) the user selects a song from a plurality of songs including at least a melody and a rhythm created in advance and stored in the storage unit 420, and determines the order in which the selected songs are to be joined together, and 3) the user selects a plurality of elements from the elements constituting the song stored in the storage unit 420, such as tempo, beat, phrase, rhythm, and sound source, and determines how to combine the selected plurality of elements, but this is not limited to the above. For example, the data related to voice created in this way may be created based on data recorded by the user of a sound that is pleasant to the user, such as the sound of waves, a child's laughter, or the sound of a whistle. In addition, in the case of data related to voice created in this way, as in the above cases 1) and 3), it is possible to correspond the stimulation given to the skin by the treatment unit 210 to the data related to voice by transmitting a data signal related to the created voice to a vibration drive circuit (not shown) of the treatment unit 210. In this way, even when the user creates data related to voice based on data recorded by the user, the rhythm and vibration of the created voice data and the vibration (vibration rhythm) of the treatment unit 210 based on the operation data are the same (or similar), so that when the user performs a cosmetic treatment using the operation data while listening to the voice of the voice data, the cosmetic treatment can be performed comfortably, and the skin care effect can be improved. In addition, the operation data (vibration (vibration rhythm) of the treatment unit 210) created based on a voice that is comfortable for the user can provide a cosmetic treatment that is comfortable for the user even if there is only stimulation by vibration, that is, even if there is no data related to voice (even if there is no stimulation by voice), so the operation data alone (only the vibration (vibration rhythm) of the treatment unit 210) may be used, or only the data related to voice may be used. In addition, the data related to voice created in this way can be used in combination with other operation data, or the operation data created in this way can be used in combination with other data related to voice to perform a cosmetic treatment. Note that, depending on the voice recorded by the user, data creation (editing) in the voice data creation unit 311 is not necessary.

[0059] When the user records the voice, not only the voice but also the scene (scenery, landscape, subject, etc.) may be photographed together with the voice. From the photographed image (particularly, video image) data, data related to the image, data related to the voice, and operation data may be created. In this way, image stimuli, audio stimuli, and vibration stimuli can be created from common data (photographed images), so that the user can perform a comfortable beauty treatment and improve the skin care effect. Furthermore, for example, if the user uses images from a trip, images with family, images with friends, etc., the user can be immersed in memories while performing the beauty treatment, which is likely to enhance the relaxation effect. Note that, depending on the voice and images recorded and photographed by the user, data creation (editing) in the voice data creation unit 311 and the image data creation unit 312 is not required.

[0060] In this embodiment, the information included in the index data is text data, but is not limited to this. For example, the user who created the action data may be able to input the change in skin condition caused by the action data being continuously performed for a certain period of time using images. This makes it easier for other users to refer to the data when acquiring it, and makes it easier to acquire the best cosmetic treatment method.

[0061] In this embodiment, the user always creates (inputs) index data in step S25, but this is not limited to the above. For example, a user who does not select uploading in step S35 may create index data by inputting only items that the user himself wants to know what kind of motion data is. For example, when a user wants to use motion data that was effective when the user was extremely tired later, the information for extracting the motion data may be included in the index data, so the user may simply input that fact in the user's comments. In addition, if the user does not plan to extract the created motion data later or does not want to input index data, it may be possible to not input the index data. Furthermore, even if a user selects uploading in step S35, the user may be able to upload index data without inputting all items. By providing flexibility in the content of the index data creation in this way, it is possible to improve the user's convenience.

[0062] In this embodiment, the flow is such that the operation data is created in the process flow of FIG. 5, the cosmetic treatment is performed based on the operation data, and the index data is created, but this is not limited thereto. For example, when a cosmetic treatment is performed using vibration stimulation by the treatment unit 210 of the cosmetic device 200, temperature stimulation, audio stimulation by the audio output unit 350, and image stimulation by the display unit 360 (four types of stimulation), in steps S10 and S15 of FIG. 5, the operation data, audio data, and image data are created, respectively, and in step S20, the cosmetic treatment is performed using (simultaneously using) the created operation data, audio data, and image data. Then, in steps S25 and S30, index data is created to be stored in association with the operation data, audio data, and image data used in the cosmetic treatment. At this time, items to be included in the index data may be input for each data, but it is preferable to do so as follows. When input is made for the items to be included in the index data, items common to each data (e.g., user information) are included in the index data stored in association with each data, and items specific to the data (e.g., an episode of the data related to an image (based on images taken during a trip to a southern island)) are included in the index data stored in association with the relevant data. This makes it possible to increase convenience for the user.

[0063] When using the beauty device 200 for skin care, some users may also use a specific agent. Information about the specific agent may be included in the index data. This is because some users may wish to obtain data created by a user who uses the same agent as them.

[0064] In this embodiment, the audio output unit 350 is a speaker provided in the information processing terminal 300, but is not limited to this. For example, earphones or headphones may be connected to the information processing terminal 300 so that the audio can be heard through the earphones or headphones. Note that earphones, headphones, or speakers that utilize bone conduction may also be used.
